The kid behind the belly is Jack Milson (he’s got a Twitter account now), and according to his mom, the Stars gave the family tickets to Game 6. Of course they did. Who wants to go into an elimination game (for one team or the other) without the power of the belly?

In the second period, when the Stars were down 2-0, the arena camera focused on Milson and some others. Milson lifted up his shirt and started doing doing belly rolls. The camera stayed on him for a quite while and the crowd got whipped up into a frenzy. On the faceoff immediately after that, Jamie Benn pushed the puck past Anaheim’s center and fired a shot off the post and in. Six minutes later, Vernon Fiddler scored to tie the game. The camera went back to the kid with a graphic that read “Rally Belly” and made a Goonies reference. The crowd went nuts again.

By the time the Stars repeated the move after Cody Eakin scored in the third period to take the lead, the #RallyBelly was already a movement.
